WHAT ARE YOU DRAWING NOW?

Do we not have a generic art dump thread? I didn't see a generic art dump thread. So I made a generic art dump thread.


So we went to a mommy-daddy-baby art class (for 2-5yos). With a basic canvas, some tempera paints (at least, I think they were tempera - I didn't ask), some masking tape, and glitter paint, we did this:

The one I made with Lucas (2yo)


The one my wife made with Cayden (4yo)

Sorry about the bad quality photos - I used my phone in poor light conditions and I can't hold my hands very steady.

It was really fun to do! First we put down some masking tape in patterns (it was hard to do with 1 hand with a 2yo on your lap). then we painted! then we did a bit of glitter paint. then after it dried a bit, we peeled off the tape and then put some paint in a baggie, cut a super tiny hole, and sprayed it on the canvas. A fun little project.

Lucas had never really painted before, but he picked up the nuances of holding a brush, dipping paint and then painting very fast.

E: oh yeah, there was also a stage where we used some bubble wrap to add texture to our painting (between the painting and glitter stage)

My mistake! I will move this post over there.
